Sex‐Disaggregated Condition and Reproductive Investment in Sardina pilchardus Reveal a Decadal Reversal and Non‐Stationary Climate Responses in the Southern Alboran Sea

ABSTRACT Small pelagic fish are highly sensitive to environmental variability, yet sex‐disaggregated assessments of condition and reproductive investment remain rare in Mediterranean fisheries science and absent for the Southern Alboran Sea (SAS). Here, we report a decadal revers...

In Situ Analysis of Chiral Gold Nanorod Growth by Nanofluidic Liquid-Phase Electron Microscopy

Abstract Chiral gold nanoparticles exhibit unique chiroptical properties, but their integration into plasmonic devices requires an understanding of the formation of chiral features and controlling their growth on substrates. Here, we combine microfluidic synthesis and liquid-phas...

Impact of the 2023 ACR/EULAR classification criteria on thrombotic antiphospholipid syndrome: reclassification patterns and long-term outcomes in a 419-patient cohort

The 2023 ACR/EULAR classification criteria for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) were developed to improve specificity and to define more homogeneous research populations. However, their performance in real-world cohorts of thrombotic APS with long-term hard outcomes remains insuff...

Humanized anti-BAMBI monoclonal antibody as a novel therapeutic strategy for psoriatic arthritis

Psoriasis (PsO) is a chronic autoimmune skin disease that affects 2% of the global population, with 30% of patients progressing to psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Both conditions are primarily mediated by CD4 + T cells, whose differentiation into distinct subpopulations depends on the...

Between Fire and Electricity: A Cultural-Historical Analysis of Activity, Sense Formation, and Energy Transition among Wayuu Indigenous Women

Abstract Energy transitions are typically framed as technical processes of infrastructure replacement. This study challenges that framing by examining how Wayuu Indigenous women from the Uriana clan in La Paz–Manaure (La Guajira, Colombia) form personal sense within culturally me...

Growth Differentiation Factor 15 Is Associated with Severe Coronary Artery Calcification in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a high burden of coronary artery calcification (CAC) and cardiovascular risk. GDF-15 is a stress-responsive biomarker linked to kidney dysfunction and adverse cardiovascular outcomes, but its relationship with CAC across CKD stages...

CO2-emissions reduction potential of LNG compared with conventional fossil fuels and the influence of port manoeuvres

This study evaluated the CO 2 -emission reduction potential of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in maritime transport and examined the influence of vessel operational profiles on emissions performance. A roll-on/roll-off passenger case study indicated an estimated 17.07% reduction in...

The Climate Model Output Rewriter (CMOR)

Features User input files can now override the source, experiment, and institution global-attribute values when those attributes are not required by the controlled vocabulary. (#988, #995) Added CMIP7 site dimension examples for Python, Fortran, and C, including their generated N...

PRECISE: Benchmarking digital pathology with expert-annotated contiguous IHC–H&E serial prostate sections

We present PRECISE (PRostate Expert-annotated Contiguous IHC–H&E Serial sEctions), a hybrid histopathology dataset of paired hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) whole-slide images (WSIs), comprising 37 prostate core needle biopsies from 25 patients, each wi...

Corrosion Behaviour of Nickel‐Aluminium Bronze (NAB) in Artificial Brackish Water (ABW) and in Sulphide‐Containing Solutions

ABSTRACT Nickel–aluminium bronze (NAB) alloys are used in naval components requiring mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. Sulphides and other sulphur‐containing compounds increase electrolyte aggressiveness and modify corrosion mechanisms in polluted and stagnant marine...

Ultrasensitive serum levels of interleukin 13 in systemic lupus erythematosus patients: a cross-sectional study

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by elevated levels of various cytokines. Interleukin (IL)-13 is a pleiotropic type 2 cytokine that plays a central role in allergic inflammation and tissue fibrosis. Until recently, serum measurement of IL-13 was not feasible be...

Magnetic induction for accelerated water evaporation in cold asphalt mixtures: large-scale evaluation and life cycle assessment

Cold asphalt mixtures are considered a sustainable alternative to hot asphalt mixtures. However, their long curing times and lower durability remain major barriers to their implementation. The objective of this work was to evaluate the mechanical, technical, environmental and eco...

Towards a Picture of the Natural World Derived from Relativity and Quantum Theory

I contend that physics should provide a coherent account of reality, in addition to being an efficient algorithm for the prediction of empirical results. This article offers pictures of reality derived from theories of modern physics. In particular, it is shown that Bose quantum...

Knowledge of the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes among maternal and child health professionals in Spain: a nationwide cross-sectional study

The International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes protects breastfeeding by restricting inappropriate promotion. This study assessed knowledge, attitudes and perceived compliance with the Code among maternal and child health professionals in Spain. A nationwide cross...

Social Representations of Childhood Among Pre-Service Teachers: Development and Preliminary Psychometric Evaluation of an Assessment Instrument (CRSID-17)

The Social Representations of Childhood Questionnaire (CRSID) explores how pre-service Early Childhood Education teachers understand childhood and translate these ideas into pedagogical approaches. This study sought to obtain a shorter, reliable version that can be readily used i...

Escalating coastal flood risk and impact thresholds in Miami revealed by Hurricane Irma

Abstract Tropical cyclones cause severe coastal flooding and erosion—impacts amplified by climate change-driven sea-level rise. Hurricane Irma (2017) was one of the most destructive hurricanes affecting Florida, including Miami, causing widespread coastal flooding. This study ass...

Characterization of Anisotropic Optical Behavior in Phase‐Change Material Sb 2 Se 3

ABSTRACT Phase‐change materials with ultralow optical losses are enabling a new generation of reconfigurable photonic devices. Sb 2 Se 3 has emerged as a leading candidate owing to its negligible optical losses across the visible and infrared, yet how polycrystallinity translates...

Storm surge dynamics in the northern Adriatic Sea: comparing AI emulators with high-resolution numerical simulations

Abstract. Accurate storm surge forecasting is vital for protecting coastal regions, particularly in the northern Adriatic Sea where sea-level rise and increasingly severe storm events pose growing risks. Machine Learning (ML) approaches offer compelling speed and flexibility, yet...

Burden, perception of stigma, and gender differences among informal care partners of individuals with mild cognitive impairment

Background Caring for individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is increasingly recognized as a significant clinical challenge. However, the latent burden, driven by perceived stigma and gender-specific vulnerabilities, remains poorly characterized during these early stage...

ClimDiT: A Generative Latent Diffusion Transformer Framework for Multivariate Climate Downscaling

Abstract Accurate, high-resolution local climate projections are essential for climate adaptation and impact assessment. Most statistical downscaling approaches rely on regression-based models that produce single deterministic estimates, thereby limiting their ability to capture...
